Soviet Monument,Avdiivka,Bombs

High explosive and cluster bombs fitted with 'UMPC' guiding systems are now a central threat on the frontline, forcing back Ukrainian forces. These bombs played a key role in the destruction of Avdiivka and the seizure of its ruins by Russia.

They are described in the military as being “drop-and-forget” as aircraft carrying them are able to fire out of reach of Ukraine’s air-defence systems. The thinktank noted that the source of the success of the weapon was the lack of capacity within the Ukrainian air defence. The Ukrainian report on the latest military developments notes that on the samples of such munitions obtained by its forces the “surface of electronic components is rubbed or varnished, which prevents the identification of some components”.

A key developer of the technology being attached to the bombs is said to be the Russian manufacturer NPO Basalt JSC, which is able to produce 500 units a month.
